@ShubhamPatil7+Tickets for Mumbai are booked! Going in April for my grandpa's birthday!
@belle0finishing day 10 of #10-days-in-public with a lecture on flight planning! did not reach my original goal of finishing the entire lecture series but i'm definitely still going to be going through it :) to celebrate this being the last day, here's 3 cool things i learned:
• all runways are bi-directional and named after the angle/bearing so runway 180 is also runway 360 :) and you take off against the direction of the wind (it hits the nose of the plane first) so a runway working both ways allows pilots (instructed by the air traffic controller) to pick a direction depending on the weather.
• planes are louder when they take off than when they land because they use more power to initially get the plane in the air
• from 18,000 to 60,000 feet above sea level, the pilot must have an instrument rating and fly under instrument flight rules which basically means using data from your flight instruments to navigate rather than using your eyes haha, and that's because you have lowered visibility
(bonus: it's possible to safely land a plane even if your engine stops working because you're able to glide, and how far you can travel while gliding depends on your glide ratio)
@belle0learning about the human factors of flight!
day 9 of #10-days-in-public 🛩️
@belle0Still on the chapter about aircraft systems :) currently learning about the engine system!
Day 8 of #10-days-in-public
@belle0Learning about aircraft systems!
Day 7 of #10-days-in-public
@belle0started the chapter on flight controls from the pilot's handbook of aeronautical knowledge :)
day 6 of #10-days-in-public
@belle0to revise/recall what i've learned thus far about planes, i started drafting notes/mindmaps from memory and looking up things that i realised i forgot :))
@belle0didn't make that much progress today with the lecture series, still on the same lecture about aircraft performance :)) i did learn a cool/fun fact about flying planes though, most of the time, headwind is better than tailwind because at the right angle of attack (angle of your plane relative to the wind), it helps generate greater lift :)
day 4 of #10-days-in-public
@belle0continuing on with the lectures for day 3 of #10-days-in-public :)) looking at factors that affect how a plane performs :roo-yay:
@belle0hey fwens :hyper-dino-wave: for the next 10 days, i'm going to learn more about airplanes and flying by completing a private pilot ground school course and maybe some other things ✈️

specifically, today i learned about how to communicate with control towers and how to get weather data while you're flying :))
day 1 of #10-days-in-public
@Lucas7+watching the air chaos over Sao Paulo, due to a gigantic CB
@j_cordz7+Second pictures group, taken almost when I was going to land. 🛬 🛣️
@j_cordz7+I finally arrived back! 🛬 The trip was a bit long and this time I didn't had time ⏲️ to make mid-day updates but everything went great! As planned, I waked up early 🌄 and then went to the airport, ✈️ and after arriving into the Capital I took a bus back into the state! 🚌 🗻 The route was different and I took a lot of different pictures on many places 📸 , as you can see here, like the Lake of Cuitzeo!
@j_cordz7+Today I'll go to a small trip 🗺️ so I won't have time to work on projects! Instead I'll be on the road 🚗 and then on an airplane ✈️ to go back to my first home! I will be reading some interesting books, listening to some cool music 🎧 and maybe I will draw 🖊️ a bit, play some games 🎮 or code 💻 locally depending on my devices batteries! 🔋 I'll try as well to share images, so meanwhile here's two very cool :blob-cool: landscape images 🌆 part of my first Scrapbook post of the day! :tw_tada:
@Ishan0Today was such an insane day omg omg
I flew an RC airplane for the first time in a relatively small field which made the experience so scary omg omg
I visited the famous Seattle Space Needle which was surprisingly built in the 1960s. Also they had very cool glass art
Idk why the italics are still on dammit slack mobile but today I also played the ukulele a bit:eggsdee:I don’t actually know how to play it so I was just plucking strings in a pattern like on zephyr:ukulele-ishan:I also configured my new Mac so now it has a perfectly configured terminal and a custom Firefox theme and a lot of other essential utils and apps and I did my history homework on it
Oh and I also went to beechers which has epic Mac and Cheese (the worlds best apparently) and lasagna.
Oh and my cousin is visiting us, this was his first full day here.I’ll send my epic and very scary rc plane maiden and a photo of the plane
@Ishan0Today we did more #duckcoin dev, and people’s interest in it is rising (the 70,000th block was mined today). Everyone was mining simultaneously, which showed me that my earlier plan won’t work and I’ll have to think of a new plan (what if we had blockchains with blockchains inside them :thonk:). It was also my dad’s birthday so I wrote him a very embarrassing two line poem and made him tea in the morning. We went to two parks, one right by the lake. Both had a lot of ducks. I tried telling them I’m quackduck on GitHub but they still ran away from me :sadge:. Anyhow, here’s some duck photos, a plane in the sky and a screenshot of Christina mining Duckcoin units called quacks on her M1 computer (the UI looks better in the latest build okay) also also, me and some people may have a cryptocurrency discussion soon, let me know if you’re interested!
@Devnol0Finally left Sicily and returned to Greece! It wasn't the best trip I've had but it wasn't bad either. (P.S. @cfanoulis et. al. plane stans we flew on one of the new Airbus A320's with the new Aegean logo and improved wings!)
@WilliamLane0great day volunteering for afghan refugees at ramstien air base in germany
@RebeccaWang0THE PLANE IS FLYING. I REPEAT THE PLANE IS FLYING @RebeccaWang0not the intended path but THE PLANE IS MOVING. I REPEAT THE PLANE IS MOVING
@carrot0The new JetBrains splash screens are really quite something (awful) so I redesigned it for myself so I won't go blind. The relevant issue this has caused is really quite funny:
youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-266149
@prithul02180Been making an RC model airplane.
It's the Mitsubishi A6M
@matt0Did some photo editing to make this photo of the SR-71 blackbird b&w with deep blacks :)
@prithul02180Finished making an RC airplane today. I designed and 3D printed all the red parts
@lskaling0Got to fly my plane today! I designed the motor mount to be only friction fit so if it crashes, the motor will pop off rather than damage it or the plane (as has been the case in the past), but I ran into issues mid flight. The motor popped off, and somehow drilled itself into the fuselage. If also unplugged the battery, so I couldn’t control it. Nothing a little duct tape can’t fix though!
@lskaling0Finishing up a new RC Plane. I crashed the last one but now trying to make it modular so if it crashes again I can just remove the damaged portions. Also I designed and 3D printed cases for all the electronics so they can be removed
